#okay enough of this nonsense

You’re doing harm because not only is your fanbase prone to harass H&L and the people that surround them more than other corners of this fandom, not only do you tend to be more mysogynistic, and not only do you twist queer history to justify horrid and invasive behavior, you’re also priming young people in your fanbase to believe in anything of conspiratorial nature. We’re talking about people going down anti vax, terf, maga and other pipelines. I’ve already witnessed myself someone go from Ziam and Larry to believing celebrities are all controlled by the devil and homosexuality is evil. It might not be your personal beliefs, but the behavior starts somewhere.

Hello, anon!

Do you understand what the words you're using really means?

What kind of harrassment are you saying larries are inflicting on H and L and people around them? Refusing to believe their lies and gaslighting isn't harrassment, calling them out for bad behaviour isn't harrassment, bringing larry supportive signs to shows isn't harrassment, commenting with blue and green hearts isn't harrassment. Asking Louis for chicken recipes isn't harrassment. What i do think is borderline harrassment are the sexually explicit signs brought to H's shows. Or the ask i get sent by antis through vpns. That's certainly not done by this side of the fandom.

Also, again you're not understanding the words you're using;

Larries do not have a dislike for, contept for, or ingrained prejudice against women. Most larries are women themselves. Just because you're a woman it does not exempt you from critisism or give you a free pass to lie, cheat and get away with unbecoming behaviour. Choosing to help closet an unwillingly closeted man for money is something that is up for critisism. It's the choice and the action we're critizing, it's not a contempt we're showing for their sex or gender.

I also do not know what you mean by twisting queer history. Do you not recognise that the music and film industry have closeted celebrities from the dawn of time? I also don't understand what horrid and invasive behaviour we larries do? We are here keeping to our own blogs and accounts? It's our space? We're not doxxing anyone? We are speculating on their sexualities yes, but so are the rest of the fandom who's shipping them with women?

I'm also not priming anyone to believe anything of conspiratorial nature, are you quite okay? I run a blog called alarrytale, it's very apparent that this little corner of the internet is a blog about larry. If young impressionable people don’t want to read about industry closeting or umbro sweaters they can exit my blog. I'm not responsible for them, they're responsible for themselves. They know what they're getting themselves into by reading my blog. They don't have to believe me, they don't have to agree with me and they don't have to follow me.

Also, being a larrie isn't a slippery slope to becoming a flat earther or a deep stater? Other than believing that larry is real, that L is not a father and that there are other closeted celebrities in the film and music industry, i don't believe in any other conspiracy theories? I can back up all my theories with facts to show that this is very probable? Larry is a very badly kept secret? We're not a minority, not in Louis' fandom at least?

I think you're confused. You saw someone go from being a larrie to believing homosexuality is evil? So they're not a larrie anymore then i assume? Or do they think they're living in sin? Sorry, but i don't believe you. You must be following trolls. Your opinion of larries are clearly coloured by your own convictions of larry not being real. You see the splinter in larries eyes, but you fail to see the beam in your own. It's hypocritical.

Okay but Tommy drops out of high school — he told his father he was gay and he told him he could either be homeless or go to military school. He goes to military school and joins the army and he likes flying the helicopters because it means he doesn’t have to do any of the killing himself. And he makes some friends.

There's one guy who's like the squad leader who's a few years old and built like a Greek god and Tommy's young and a little bit in love. And they're friends maybe even family because this whole group of people spend every waking (and sleeping) moment together. And they all talk like a family and they all say they love each other and tease each other and it's nice. And one night it's just the two of them trading a flask of some sort of alcohol that Tommy doesn't know the name of and the man asks Tommy why he joined the army and where he wants to be in five years and Tommy trusts this man. He's half way in love with him so he doesn't even think twice before he tells the story about the time he came out to his family and his father nearly beat him to death before sending him here. And the conversation tapers off after that and he doesn’t register the change in the air but when he wakes up the next morning he’s being dishonourably discharged because he poses “unacceptable risk to the high standards of morale, good order and discipline, and unit cohesion that are the essence of military capability”. He knows what that means.

Tommy joins the fire department because he doesn’t know what else to do. He represses anything regarding his sexuality because he knows now that it’s wrong. He almost feels like he has a family again because his captain seems to like him and some of the guys are cool even if they say things he doesn’t agree with. And then he starts agreeing because maybe they’re right and he’s wrong and he’s just inherently wrong. So he follows their leads and is just straight racist because that’s how he can fit in.

And then a black lesbian woman joins and says she’s a black lesbian woman and Tommy doesn’t understand that either because you can’t be queer you just can’t be because it’s wrong.

But he nearly dies and and an Asian man saves his life and a black lesbian woman comes up with a better idea than any of them had and she tells them she’s no different and she is just as capable. So he improves himself he does and he tries to be better but he still can’t be who he is because the last 2 times he was honest about that he was betrayed.

Tommy leaves the 118 and “don’t ask, don’t tell” is lifted and he meets this guy he likes who likes him back and the 217 don’t seem to have a problem with the gender neutral pronouns and he slowly but surely lets himself open up again and be who he is and when the thing with that guy doesn’t work out because he’s moving to New York and Tommy’s not sure he’s ready to leave, it’s okay because his crew is there and they support him and he can still be himself.

People talking ill about the voters are so weird though? Why are you talking about them like they are children? Everyone is allowed to vote for the party they like, and obviously, you can be sad that your favoured party didn't do well, but stop calling them idiots/haters/illiterate. They are all over 18, let them make their own decisions!

i rmr when all the initial meta around endgame was coming out people were talking about steve being depressed and whatnot and it's like well yeah but he's BEEN depressed, like he woke up alone in this century and he kept going, now i can understand it being worse this time after finding a family and getting bucky back and losing them all except of course that's not why endgame steve was on about so like......the people writing meta were trying to connect these things that of course weren't really there on screen because that simply wasn't our steve

but i think it really could've been SO interesting to see this is the thing that finally makes steve stay down like he's lost so much and he just CAN'T keep fighting like i get some people think that's what they were going for but considering the ending......it's really not. and so i'm just thinking about a version after iw, maybe he gets some of the thor treatment except not turning his depression into a dumb fatphobic joke lol and maybe nat and others are trying to get through to him and it just doesn't work and then we get some flashbacks (which you could have done for all the original avengers actually which would be particularly important for bruce and nat and clint who did not have their own trilogies) including his mom telling him "you always stand up" and THAT being the thing to finally get him moving like it would've been such a perfect way to finally show sarah rogers some respect and ACTUALLY show steve really struggling instead of whatever they tried to do with him in that movie

thinking about the internal logic for the magic system for my original stuff again. thinking about the fact that i spent a year writing (good!) and did not touch my original stuff at all (not great lmao) and that now that i've got myself back on the right path (words!) and have tried to beat into my silly, stubborn head that the important thing is to get things done and out of my sweaty, scared hands instead of clutching them too tightly and far too long trying to focus on making them as good as they can be (sigh), i really, really gotta apply that to my original stuff this next year (SIGH) even when i really don't wanna (SIGHHHHHHHH) so. yeah. i should probably crack that sucker open again and at the very least reread it. AFTER i finish this fic that i was supposed to finish last weekend lmao (say it with me: sigh).

*Kicking open the door* HI HELLO YES I'M BACK

I got sidetracked by holidays, burdened by shoulder pain, and stumped on a few prompts, but I am CAUGHT UP on all the art, and unless Tumblr smacks me with the post limit again, I will ALSO be caught up on all the posting. And I'm making 11 different posts about it, because I'm stubborn. Anyway, this was for day 17, which had the prompts Observer and Feared; obviously, I had to mash the special interests together and draw Jon as a Wings of Fire dragon. Not sure how I didn't draw this sooner, to be honest.

somewhere out in the woods of district 12 what remains of appalachia’s most iconic town are abandoned and decaying and being taken over by the wildlife.

they say if you journey out there and offer up a shiny object then the ghost of dolly parton grants you a life of prosperity.

Ah, right, another thing that hit me this episode is just the parallels between Kyouka, Dazai, and Yosano. I'm sure this has been said before but hear me out...

With Kyouka and Yosano, it the way they grew to resent and hate their abilities and their own selves for what their abilities did to the people they loved or wanted to save, even though Kyouka's ability definitely was death-coded and Yosano's was life-coded. I mean, firstly, they found hope in the ADA which is just....*clenches fists* and secondly, it also tells me how the actual message of their stories isn't really "hey, this is only good for insert death/life" like they thought but more that it's what you do with that ability and how you see yourself and how maybe nothing and no one is really coded as evil or perhaps even if it is that doesn't mean it cannot be redeemed and just -

And with Dazai and Yosano, it's just the way they witnessed someone they loved die that finally broke them in their own ways. For Dazai it was Odasaku dying because the latter was grief-and-revenge stricken because of what the PM and Gide did. For Yosano it was how her soldier died because he was too traumatised by the war and what Mori did. Something about Oda and the soldier's deaths being from the way they saw life becoming cheapened, meaning that they saw their own lives as not really worth living...and how that managed to break something in Dazai and Yosano and propel them to get out of their situations....

Also. Just. Yosano and Kyouka finally saw the value in their lives and grew in a wonderfully positive direction. Dazai, you're doing AMAZING but you're still suicidal and so stupid...

I think it's interesting that they went in different directions for Movie vs Book Boromir. Because from a story-writing stand-point I can understand why the movie did was it did, since Boromir's fall needed to make sense and they did not have the luxury of time and insight that the book does. But it's also interesting that Boromir's demise in the movie is painted as something inevitable, as something that is because he was not as pure of heart as the others are - while the book tells us the opposite. He fell because his heart was good. He fell because he loved too much. And love is strong, and Boromir was strong because of it - and the Ring corrupts those who have strength
